I've got TWO letters here, one which is a response from Andrew Twietmeyer, attorney for the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupeno Indians of the Pala Reservation. The second is from Attorney Sara Dutschke Setshwaelo, who claims to be the attorney for the Pala Tribe.

The second paragraph addresses that issue. IS SHE....or ISN'T SHE?

” My Client is unaware of any such approval or authorization and believes it to be unlikely.Therefore, as a courtesy, and to facilitate open and direct communication, please immediatelysend me documentary evidence of 1) the PBMI General Council’s and the Secretary of the Interior’s authorization and approval for you to represent the PBMI; and 2) when such authorization and approval was effected. OUCH

Another item seems to have Atty Setshwaelo CONFUSED. She doesn't seem to know the difference in a proposal:

It is a proposal only. In other words, your contention that, my Client’s Proposal that the
PBMI should agree to particular terms, somehow operates to misrepresent that the PBMI has
agreed to such terms is, quite frankly, absurd.

Most important, there is a QUESTION as to HOW Attorney SDS came into possession of certain documents. COULD IT BE her AUNT, Amy Dutschke share documents with her?

Your letter also makes reference to a January 7, 2015 letter. See Tab “A” at p. 2. MyClient sent that letter to the attention of Regional Director Amy Dutschke and her subordinates atthe Pacific Regional Office only. How did you or your client obtain a copy of that letter? I amgiven to understand that Regional Director Dutschke is a relation of yours. Is that true? Did shetransmit the letter to you or your client? Please advise immediately as to where you obtained thatletter. The fact that you have cited my Client’s private communications with the Bureau in your letter is very troubling to my Client. READ the Documents:

Man, Amy looks like Robert in drag. She needs to be investigated for fraud and dereliction of duty. And the IRS needs to check her bank accounts. I like how the attorney says he hopes the tribe isn't paying the daughter. You know Robert isn't paying with his money. He is a thief. OP....THAT WRITING ON YIUR HEADLINES.....UNREADABLE.

Well then Ms. Sara Douschbag, Then why is your client, Mr. Robert Smith get to claim that he is The Chairman of two different Tribes. That would be The Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians, and The Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation. Which your AUNTY AMY has no problem in making up fake Documents to support both Tribes that he is claiming to be the Chairman.Does that mean that he,Robert Smith is subject to Disenrollment also for claiming both tribes?

Robert claims to be Chairman of the Pala Luisenos and Pala Band of Mission Indians, two separate entities. By his logic then he needs to be disenrolled from one entity or the other. Perhaps someone from the General Council should get on the agenda for next month to disenroll Robert from PBMI. That would make Howard Maxcy Chair. I wonder if Howard wants to be Chairman bad enough to put in on next month's agenda.

The facts are in black and white! Time is ticking! All corrupt tribal and BIA officials will be held accountable for their collusion, it has been happening for years, you have just been caught red handed! Thank you all for your support its just a matter of time! Justice shall prevail!

Which name is the license for the casino held in? If it's the one that isn't recognized, wouldn't that make the casino illegal in Callifornia? I think this needs to be investigated....it's very important to the future of Pala.

Pala is being run by a dictator and much like any dictator the people under him are afraid of him, mostly afraid they will lose their per cap. Which he has at a ridiculous low level. Why doesn't the tribe members realize that he reason the per cap is so low is because of him and his cohorts? he is laughing all the way to his hidden off shore accounts more than likely. Your tribe is toast. Nothing good can become of a tribe being run by a dictator. He can't kick everyone out, why don't you people wake up and do something about it?

AAAHHH SNAP! Has anyone priced 3/4" plywood? Its going to take alot to board up your illegal casino you P.B.M.I. nobodys. You people down there should really start considering kissing some "DISENROLLEE" ass, the way I see it is they have their fingers on the proverbial nuclear button, when they decide to push it you can kiss your casino and per capita adios and it serves you ALL right. Dumbshits

THANK YOU for the new caption font....it's very clean and precise. I found myself not trying to figure it out before.

Has anyone tried contacting 60 minutes or Dateline about this travesty of Justice? It seems like the perfect type of story that needs more light. This dictatorship needs to be brought to light. It's obvious your tribes have sold out to a leader that is robbing them blind. It's more like a cult leader, supplying his followers drugs and perks to stay in control This is 2015, not the dark ages....why can't they wake up before it's too late and that Casino they all steal from is shuttered like Chuckchansi?

This absurd cease and desist order is part of Robert Smith's plan to prevent the Warner Ranch Evictees (Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupeno Indians) from preventing him from stealing the land, assets and revenue of the Pala Reservation. This is just the opposite of his claim that the Proposed Settlement is an attempt by the Agua Caliente Cupenos to take the land, assets, and revenue away from PBMI. Make no mistake. When Amy Dutschke put land into trust for PBLMI in the name of Chairman Robert Smith, that land went straight into Robert Smith's hands. It is one of the most ludicrous examples of bureaucratic corruption imaginable.

Also people need to understand how this eviction action operated. First Robert Smith, or whoever he compromised, got the Proposed Settlement which was in draft form. He threw one of his tantrums and consulted with his attorney, Sara Dutschke Setshwaelo, to come up with some retaliatory and vindictive action. He wanted to hurt the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupeno Indians, so he attacks individual members of the tribe and claims they are operating to usurp the name, lands, assets and revenue of the PBMI. The Pala EC prepared their meeting agenda with an eviction action, and scheduled a meeting of the General Council on short notice. Once Robert Smith collected enough votes to put through the evictions he notifies his attorney to send out the cease and desist demand. Of course it is impossible to comply with a cease and desist demand when the accusations are false to begin with, and when there is no opportunity to respond before the punitive and retaliatory action is passed. That is how Robert Smith operates.

Our attorney has responded firmly and appropriately. There will now be a high level of scrutiny on whatever transpires next. Robert Smith or his lobbyists will probably begin approaching BIA officials, DOI officials, or perhaps even members of Congress to influence them against the Agua Caliente Cupenos. We have already noted the obscene deference offered to the dishonorable Chairman, and the explicit favoritism shown to him. I urge anyone who is approached to turn their backs on this corrupt and contemptible tyrant lest you become guilty by association. Consider this a fair warning.

In the meantime we will continue to pursue the reclamation of our interests on the Pala Reservation through what we hope will be peaceable and productive negotiations. It is past time to end the destruction of what was once a respected reservation.

We have said all along any was helping smith our. Now we know she was. I feel a full investigation by an outside agency should be launched and Amy should be out on administrative leave while it is done

Sara Sara Sara where did you go to school? Long, rambling, run on sentences are just not lawyerly, especially when you forget what it is YOU are trying to say. Page 2 of your letter, paragraph 2 "Not coincidentally, this timing coincides with the tribe's determination that Margarita Brittain - the person through whom certain of your clients claimed membership in the Pala Band- had insufficient blood quantum to satisfy the Pala Band's membership criteria,". Hell, she was 4/4. I think that's plenty to qualify for membership. Sara don't you have a proofreader?

There is way that they can legally evict Kenney Johnson from his private property according to State and Federal Laws. The Valley Center and the Fallbrook Sheriffs Dept. already said that they would have to refuse to evict Mr. Johnson from his Private property, because their is no law, either State or Federal that would allow such an action. So Pala get ready for another meeting so the EC can try something different to kick Mr. Johnson off of his property. For one his entry is off of an easement so that would give him access to his property, and that easement runs all the way to Highway 76 which is a county maintained road so it is open to the public. And unless the EC wants to wave there Sovereignty status and let the courts decide, then Mr.Johnson can stay put.

Also Pala Temecula road goes all the way through to highway 76.And for you Doreen Kolb, Mr. Johnson can attend Church services at the word of god church as it is on private property and has access of a County Maintained Public Road way, to which the Tribe has no say as to who uses that road and why. If need be Mr. Johnson will get a letter from the County of San Diego giving him permission to use said Roadway which is Pala Temecula rd. and which the Church entry is on said highway. And the Church is also located on private property. He does not have a need to go onto Tribal property.And the Tribe has no right to say where he can and can't go, as long as he stay on easements and public Roadways. And this is according to the County of San Diego and the Sheriffs dept. Also the Tribe has no right to band anyone from their Religious beliefs and the right to practice their religious beliefs. That is a Constitutional Law.

Does anyone else find it odd that Sara Dumbshit Dutschke did not CC her version or should I say Robert Smiths version of the situation in pala? I guess she can be afforded a little credit for not wanting anyone to see just how absurd her claims are and how inaccurate her fairy tale letter really is Take note of the list who Mr. Twietmeyer CC'd his response too Sara, thats how professionals with all the facts at their disposal operate You really should of put some thought and research into your attempt to act like a real attorney.

@9:47 PM I doubt that she went to law school, I bet that her Aunt Amy and her Uncle Robert had Howard Dickstien get her a lic. Because is sounds like she doesn't know SHIT, except tell Robert Smith how to get away with certain things concerning disenrollments.

@ Willy, lmao, thanks for that. Palarez, your words have no meaning here, you are not welcome, you would have supported Hitler, you probably believe the Holocaust never happened. You are so transparent.

The evictees were served notice in record time. Just a couple of days after the vote, so it appears that the eviction notices were previously prepared and signed by all the Executive Committee members so they could send the notices by registered mail the day after the meeting.

There was no appeal provision in the notices, which I guess means there is no way to appeal the evictions. That is how justice works at Pala. Robert Smith wants it done and wants it final so no one can challenge his power.

Doesn't anyone question the grounds for the eviction? An unpublished document that was never adopted or approved by the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupenos, that was improperly obtained, probably by hacking someone's private files, or compromising a member of the Tribe, is not a criminal action. It was not a petition that was circulated trying to rally support for an action, or a takeover attempt, or even a public threat of any kind.

Just the mere idea that the Agua Caliente Tribe was contemplating asserting a claim to a share of the land, assets, and revenue of the Pala Reservation sent the infantile Chairman through the roof. He got so angry he had to go after the people whose names he got from Amy Dutschke as the Tribe's elected officers. Now he wants to get Willie Pink because he won't be satisfied until he destroys anyone that dares to challenge his grip on the casino revenue and people of Pala.

This is one very insecure tyrant. It's not enough that he has a grip on everyone and everything at Pala. He has to stomp on anyone that might even talk about changing things for the better.

The EC's attorney says that King Freeman is a member of the Agua Caliente Tribe. She didn't even bother to check any facts. All she knows is what the Chairman told her, and he wants to get King Freeman too. King Freeman is not a member of the Agua Caliente Tribe. How do I know this? Because I am on the Enrollment Committee and he has not applied for enrollment.

This would be funny if it weren't so sad and sick. Everyday that goes by is another day that Robert Smith steals money, finds a new way to hurt someone, and then blames it on somebody else. He has never accepted any responsibility for the tremendous harm he has caused. He hurts people because he enjoys it. He's probably celebrating right now, basking in the glow of the shadow his corpulent buttocks casts on the Pala Reservation.

I am glad I am not in that shadow. It is dark and evil and continues to grow larger, just like the Chairman's waistline.

Humpty Dumpty Smith sat on a sovereignty wall,Humpty Dumpty Smith had a great fall.All the BIA’s Pacific Regional Officers, And all the BIA's menCouldn't put Humpty Smith's phony government together again!

@RR you mean even Sheila Smith and Theresa Villa signed the eviction notice. Their own cousins? The great great granddaughters if Margarita Britten. The woman who was a Aqua Caliente Evictee. Shame shame beyond shameful.

Palarez no matter what evidence is before you you back the dishonorable chairman and his crooked EC. It sounds to me like you also have a beef with Willy. What I think is you are one getting a little extra on the side from RS to keep your mouth running on OP against those that you know are right or you are RS or one of the EC, you have a beef against Willy, King or one of the disenrolled , you do not have enough blood to belong so you are trying to keep the heat off yourself, you are just plain ignorant or all of the above. There is no way in hell anyone with even half a brain, who has bothered to read all the proof presented for the disenrolled that would still stand behind that piece of shit you call your chairman and his EC. You better start sAving your per cap because of you leave him in charge you will soon have none to save

well well well, Mr Freeman is not a member of the Agua Caliente? What the hell? What kind of attorney would put the law firm she works for on the hook for a liable suit by implicating someone by name on a written document just so Robert Smith can disrnroll him? you have really fucked up now Sara Dutschke. Please please please tell us your not that stupid, I guess the lack of brain cells runs in the family, look at the stupid shit your Aunt Amy is doing in Sacramento. I still cant believe you didn't check the facts before you typed in Mr. Freemans name, UNBELIEVABLE!

It looks like this PALA shit is about to explode in the faces of the EC real soon, judging from some of the comments here that are being posted. King Freemans name was never mentioned at the meeting on Sept 9,2015 but both smith and nieto mentioned that they were trying to figure out who all was involved in this escapade and that they (EC) would take action against them. It's funny how the EC has control over every thing, because back in the real days this would have been considered a Tribal issue and brought before the General Membership to decide the fate of these people and they (ousted)would have been given a change to defend themselves to the Tribes General Membership. But know it seems that Robert Smith, Theresa Nieto get to do whatever they please to any and all Members, both young and yes even the ELDERS of the Tribe. Why do these 6 people get to sit in judgement of Tribal Members and decide their fate concerning the Tribe itself. This should be brought before the General Membership and the accused should be allowed to confront their accuser (accusers)face to face to make this fair all the way around. This is all one sided the way it is now. And it needs to be looked into and a change needs to take place.

@palarez, the MB descendants do have the blood. Haven't you looked at any of the documents posted. Have you seen the one the Robert says MB daughter were half? The only document I have ever seen that said MB is half is the 1928 rolls. And someone scribbled out 4/4 and wrote in 1/2. I can't wait for the court to rule on this. The evidence is overwhelming.

Yeah PalaRez. Why should we let a San Felipig Indian determine who we are. You establish all these rules but when they apply to you and your Cahuilla EC the rules all of sudden don't apply anymore. Marie Smith, father unknown (White Man) Henry Smith (White Man) Domingo Moro (Spanish/White Man) Remijio Lugo (Morongo Cahuilla) Valeriana Barker (Cahuilla/White Man)So really, if you want to dictate the rules then let's use your stupid rules. Guess what? We are just doing that stupid man. You don't even recognize your own rules. Wait until we stick that piece of crap constitution right up your ass. That is where it came from in the first place. So go ahead San Felipig and keep listening to Shasta Man and Sara Douchebag.

@ 8:52 pm SEPT 10.YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG Robert Smith is not a Dictator, He is a DICK TAKER.ANY SIZE BIG OR SMALL IF IT FITS IT A FREE FOR ALL. Well one thing for sure Mr. Smith, when you go to prison you will not find a shortage of DICKS especially the BIG BUBBA ONES.I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE A PUNCH BECAUSE IT IS SAID THAT THESE MEN PACK A BIG PUNCH AND A BIG LUNCH TO KEEP YOU FULL.

Hey little big man PalaRez, since you Robert Smith are the chair of the Pala Band of Luiseno Indians here is a sweet fact for you. Did you know that most of the Britten descendants are also Luiseno. Most of them have more Luiseno than your total degree of Indian blood. Then again, that is one of the odd things about your reservation of Pala Band of Luiseno Indians. If Pala is Luiseno then how come no one can count their Luiseno Indian blood? It appears you are the chair of nothing. It will be one of the most interesting questions to ask the BIA when they are finally in court.

I already got mine, they actually gave me an id from Pala Band of Mission Indians. And I don't even live their and never was a Tribal Member. I just argued with some guy named David and I got mine, so where do I go to get my check?Tribal ID# 721

I wonder how many attorneys are beating on King Freemans door to represent him against DENTENS LAW FIRM, Dentens is very large law firm, and must not screen its attorneys very well if they let the likes of Sara Dutschke implicate a elder for the sole purpose of allowing Robert Smith to disenroll him. Talk about bush league, you would think DENTENS would employ people who know the ramifications of falsely accusing someone to inflict damages aginst said person. The comment above by R&R is factual, King Freeman is not a member and has not applied to be a member of the agua caliente cupeno of the pala reservation. So DENTENS LAW FIRM you have alot of explaining to do as well as some solid unfabricated evidence to prove your employees comments against King Freeman to be true.

What is even more disturbing is that Robert Smith has announced a real live witch hunt in the year 2015. Tribal membership rolls are sacred and confidential. Unless Robert Smith has a copy of the Agua Caliente Tribal Roll certified by the Tribe's Secretary he best keep his mouth shut. So Sara Dumbski, the one who's only experience in law is screaming sovereignty, may have just exposed the underbelly of a large law firm. At the same time Sara Dumbski may have just lifted the veil of sovereign immunity from her client. In a sense she is representing that her client, Robert Smith, not the tribe, will go to any length to disenroll anyone from the tribe. I see it as she represents that her client can commit crimes and that he will be protected by sovereignty. Sounds like Sara Dumbski missed "Sovereignty 101" Oh yeah, I think UC Davis politely asked her to leave for being pro-disenrollment.

Yep you are right, I am on the enrollment committee too, and King is definitely not on the membership rolls. He has never applied either. Talk about lies, wow, what a whopper. I thought these people had intelligence. SO, Robert lies to his lawyers and they take him for his word, hmmmmm, the money must be pretty good. He did this on purpose so he can openly use the tribe to pay the lawyers, because you know this is not going to lay still if He tries to disenroll King. To the lawyers of Pala, you are helping to put a lot of people through unjust pain, you are destroying our lives and you will get your Karma too. It is sad when a practice that is all about justice and truth is spreading and building lies and corruption and hurting innocent people. The BAR Association will be receiving plenty of complaints about Sara. Here is the complaint form.http://www.calbar.ca.gov/portals/0/documents/Regulation/2013_ComplaintForm-InstructionsENG.pdfJust fill it out about her and how she lied, it will get reviewed especially if enough people complain about her, you can even use this specific article or copy the letter and explain how that will get King disenrolled, but it is an outright lie. She is helping to spread hate and pain, shame on her and her firm. Next time if you are going to infer to information that was not given to you, at least try and verify your information, especially when the liars of all liars is your source. Aren't you all suppose to have an edumacation!

Notice how she refers to Pala over and over as the "Pala Band", not locking into either the PBMI or PBLMI. Last we looked Robert was the Chairman of Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians, totally ousting the Cupeno people, so because he wants us to disappear we are suppose to just let him erase our family and its history?

Dumbski's letter Page 2, 2nd paragraph, 1st line. Does Dumbski know what disaffected means. It means "no longer happy and willing to support a leader, government, etc." "The troops became disaffected" Got this one right Dumbski.

Playing "Find Sara's mistakes" again. P. 2 1st paragraph. " Moreover, your client may not purport to (1) challenge the Paula Band's legitimacy as a federally recognized tribal entity; and at the same time (2) purport to claim the Pala Band's assets may be divided as assets rightfully possessed by three tribal entities." Purport purport, is that like two wrongs don't make a right or a double negative makes a positive? Remember this is written by a lawyer. Can't go into court and say to a judge, "What I meant to say was....". Get a proofreader lawyer.

I'll bet anything that if Robert and the EC try to disenroll King, that someone will get hurt this time around. This will for sure be the last straw. The EC and AMY are also so guilty of corruption and should be investigated, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a long term in the Federal Prison system.

In reply to Palarez@5:59PMWell then who gave you permission to use the Pala REZ name to post comments it sounds like you are speaking on behalf of the Pala Reservation. And that is just wrong. Many Tribal Members don't like it and are worried that you represent to Pala Band of Mission Indians when you post comments here and on the other blog.

Tribe tribe tribe. Poor Sara. All that schooling and she still does not know what a tribe is. Talk about misrepresenting the facts. You, Robert and your auntie Amy need to have a heads together talk before you take this any further. Sorry!! I apologize. You already had that talk and this is the best your three minds could come up with. Disenroll, evict, banishment, treason. Disenroll, evict, banishment, treason. Disenroll, evict, banishment, treason. Disenroll, evict, banishment, treason. Disenroll, evict, banishment, treason. That must have been some brain session. Next time you guys meet bring some brains. Here is something for you to really think about. Court, discovery, deposition, conviction, prison. Yes, there are some real sovereign powers waiting for you.

Just read this on Pala Watch so I checked it out. It was said that the only method of voting at General Council meetings is by show of hands or secret ballot. So I looked. This is what the constitution says. Article 3, Section 4: Voting - The method of voting, either by show of hands or by secret ballot, *** So it is true. The clickers used for voting are illegal. That would also mean that every single vote taken with that stupid clicker is illegal because those votes violated the constitution.

People of Pala, the disenrollees are not your enemy, Pala is still home to them, why would they want to destroy Pala? They have never lied to you, the only ones who lie over and over again are the members of the EC, Amy, and Sara. Use the brains you used when you passed a test with a good grade in school, and really decipher in your minds what makes a good leader. We are only trying to get the whole truth out there and help Pala heal to where it is a band of family again. We want Pala to be the representative a what a good tribe is, with honest leaders who want the best for all of the members. We want to be able to say with confidence that Pala is our home and the best place to be part of. There is so much that could happen for Pala. There are so many good people and smart young minds that need guidance to give them a chance to be perfect examples of Native American youth and how much they can accomplish in this state. Instead of giving them drugs to sustain them and keep their vote, we want them to succeed and bring forth new ideas to gain notoriety for Pala, as a place for youth to grow up and develop their minds without the negative influences they have now. We do not want your money, we do not want to take anything away from you. We promise a better place, a more relaxed atmosphere, a general state of content because we will be doing good things for all of the people. Robert is going to tell you anything to keep in power. An audit, a real one by a third party, would be full proof of who is right. What would it hurt to have one? Who will it hurt to have one? If Robert and the EC are doing everything on the up and up, then the audit will show that, and then we will all know. So why does he do everything to avoid even getting close to the idea? Every time it comes even close he somehow comes up with a distraction and the people fall for it. If he is honest, then he should have an audit.

The Pala EC is once again using lies to attack individuals, and now they have involved their personal attorney. This is different than invoking sovereign immunity to avoid a review of the evidence and arguments. This is direct falsification that has been used as grounds for an eviction proceeding.

Now I suggest people look back at the notices from the Pala EC and read where the facts and statements of others are twisted completely out of recognition. Like the anonymous letter that was posted after the first 8 disenrollments and the follow-up by Robert Smith who said it was King Freeman who wrote the letter and announced (I paraphrase) "See! king Freeman wants the rest of the 1/16ths disenrolled!" This is how Robert Smith twisted the statement that there were other 1/16th blood degree descendants of Margarita Britten enrolled and asking why where these 8 selected and not the others.

The lies are really adding up. We keep wondering why anyone would trust these liars? Do they have any credibility left? At this point it seems like it is all lies and that they are incapable of telling the truth. That is the kind of respect they show for the the people of the Pala Reservation.

Why hasn't the Tribes Attorney told us that the electronic voting was not legal according to the constitution? is she (Attorney)only their to protect Robert and the EC and to hide all the crimes that they commit? WE need answers and we need them now, before the next meeting when we are asked to press the key padWould that be to much , for us to ask her to at least comment on the issue before the next special meeting. What have you to say Lady Lawyer on this voting issue? we all know that you read this blog, so please speak up.

Rereading the ignorantly and hastily put together letter, of a threatening nature, sent to the Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupeno Indians of the Pala Reservation and noticed that the proposed settlement points were presented as the lawyers version. So basically this is her first negotiation effort for her client.

4:01 PM each person who signs in at a meeting is given a numbered voting device. When a person votes the number on the device is documented by the computer and the voting tally is fed back to the Executive Committee. The EC can then check the voting results against the sign in sheet (and you can see them up there doing this) so they can see who voted which way. If Robert does not like the vote he declares a glitch in the system and asks for another vote. Before the next vote then Robert can issue his veiled threats against those that he knows did not vote his way. Of course it is easier for Robert to just flip the vote. Many people know this because they have seen the computer do this and that is it just flips the vote. If the vote is 60 to 40 against, Robert can flip the vote so it becomes 60 to 40 in favor. So the answer is no, the illegal voting devices cannot be construed as secret ballot because the EC knows how you are voting.

Wow! We have been dooped all these years! I vote to bring back the disenrolled and have robert answer to the Feds! We are family not enemies, we were divided by greed! The truth shall prevail! Welcome home to all the disenrolled it's just a matter of time!

If it is in fact illegal then refuse the device at the next meeting and explain why and force the EC into a corner and make them explain why the Constitution states that the devises are not legal for voting and also the Articals of Ass. say the same thing. What have you to say Miss Tribal Attorney, or due you need time to consult with your Aunt Amy Douschbag.

As for the disenrollments, they are really not legal buy any means.If anyone disenrolls anyone, it has to be the Tribe it's self and the EC does not have the right to do so. This is according to the United States Supreme Court Rulings.The U.S.Supreme Court states that a "TRIBE" has the right to determine there own Membership, And the Tribe in the Pala Case did not disenroll anyone, it was the EC that did this and the TRIBE as a whole was not even aware of it until it was already done and finalizedby the EC and Amy Douschbag at the Regional office of the BIA, in Sacramento.The magic word in these rulings by the U.S.Supreme Court is "A TRIBE. Not the EC.

@ 2:53a.m. You are right about the supreme court ruling, but if I can respectfully state where you are wrong is referring to P.B.M.I. as a tribe. P.B.M.I. has never bern published in the register of federally recognized tribes which clearly proves they are not viewed as a tribe by the UNITED STATES. Just because their ILLEGAL constitution states they are doesn't make it so. Since all the disenrolled are descendents of the cupeno tribe from Warners Ranch only other decendants of the Agua Caliente Tribe from Warners can have any say about weather they belong or not. Certainly not the San Felipig or the Morongo/Cahuilla imposters Thersa Nieto and Dion Perez

That is why Robert is trying to change the name now, he was trying to do it in secret along with Amy, so that it just seemed like it was always that way and no one would notice the difference or the fact that he received federal aid and was able to conduct all business the whole time he has been Chairman as a Chairman of a federally recognized tribe. He disenrolled under this and he was wrong, because only Cupenos should be able to decide which Cupenos can be enrolled. If only Cupeno Indians were on the board would they then have the right to disenroll old Pala descendants?

So , the Executive Committee did this to us illegally ha. Okay Pala EC members be prepared because we are MAD AS HELL and we are coming for you, you lying, cheating, crooks, You have caused so much damageto the People in Pala and to the Reservation by all of your fraud, murders, beating people up, banishing legit members from the Reservation, and most of all the fact that you are letting non CUPA blood members sit in Judgment of true Cupa Blood Descendands of a full blooded Cupa woman. Your time is up, now you will see how MAD we are, so get ready to Rumble .And don't count on to many for back up because we think now that everything is in a new light as to what you are doing and what you intend to try to do, people are starting to see you for what you are, and that is you are nothing but SHIT to a lot of people here on the Pala Reservation. You people are really sick, because you thought that no one would ever find out what you are up to, and what a bunch of liars you really are.You, the EC are finished and after we are done then if their is any thing left of you , then the Feds can have you, but we are going to get the first shot at you all.Satisfaction is a must.

Stop calling Sara Setshwaelo the Band's attorney until she can show the Band approved her, and that she was approved by the Secretary of the Interior.

Now we want to know how RS got that Settlement Proposal. Did he steal it or did he pay someone to give it to him? Bet Sara wishes she asked where it came from too. How foolish of her to trust a big fat liar. He really fed her a pack of lies and she fell for it. Kiss your license to practice law goodbye.

The BIA said all of the disenrollees should be put back on the rolls. They qualify for enrollment direct line from full blood Margarita Brittian. So everything that the EC does now is illegal because it does not allow a major portion of the tribal members to vote. You can't assume someone will vote yes, no, abstain on an agenda item. So for instance the upcoming agenda item will not be a legal vote so those of you in fear, and I'm not talking Brittens, should thank God for this fact.

Well PalaRez Robert Smith is at it again. He has called a special meeting and asking the General Council to give up more of their power to him. So what is it this time. Oh yes. The Power to revoke land assignments. So what is behind this wanton desire for more power. The most logical story seems to be that there are as many as three families living on a single assignment/home and this of no benefit to Robert Smith. He wants those individuals out of these homes and begging him on their knees for their own assignment. This locks them in to his housing program where these individuals will be forced to accept mortgages three times their actual value. Then they will sign an agreement allowing Robert Smith to have control over their per-capita for 30 years. It is also a known fact that Robert Smith gets a kick back of $1,000 for every home built on Pala through his program and contractors. So go ahead General Council. Give it away. Give it all away. Why don't we just have one Special Meeting and disband the General Council and let the EC decide everything from now on. Do it. Just do it. get this slow suicide over with. It is sickening. This death of Pala is sickening.

Just how much money does this man need? You need to start putting the blame on your tribe as well. They are letting him carry on his looting of the tribes wealth. Why doesn't your tribe all agree that there should be an audit of the books if nothing else? Maybe they will see just how much is going to your "Chairman" and his co- conspirators. And maybe someone can find out why Pala moves their machines around almost every week...and after every movement, they pay out less....are they changing the internal parts with every move? Maybe when they shut them down, it's easier to change the random modulators? No other Casino moves their machines almost weekly like Paka does.

They even cheat on counting a show of hands. They will cheat at every opportunity they can get. There is no real vote at Pala. If you vote by secret ballot they just count the ballots without even looking at them. Of course they always win. Stan McGarr used to brag about how he never really counted the show of hands. He just went through the motion of counting then declared the vote in favor. Just ask him. He will tell you because he really does not care. Why? Because he knows there is nothing you can do about it. What would you or could you do if there is an illegal vote? Nothing. The BIA, Amy Deutschland has already demonstrated that she will accept any illegal vote sanctioned by Robert Smith.

Robert Smith has quite an arsenal of punishment that he can dole out to the membership if he even thinks you are against him. He can withhold your per capita, he can evict you from your home. He can evict you from the Rez. He can evict you from meetings. He can take away your voting rights. He can take away your right to hold office. He can take away your member ship. He can change your degree of Indian blood. He can enroll white people. He can make you a white person. What is left? What is next? Ovens???? It is said the Henry Smith used to brag about being related to Adolph Hitler. Seems he may have been right.

I remember that meeting it was pretty funny. That was the same meeting when Nieto screwed up the Lords Prayer at the opening of the Meeting ,That evil bitch. Can't even recite the Lords Prayer, because it says "DELIVER US FROM EVIL".AMEN. Even Rubber Dildo Smith can't Recite the prayer because of that part, he proved that at the Sept 9th meeting on the evictions.

I see no humor in a E.C. member with a laptop in front of her TYPING in a vote tally based on the amount of voting devices handed out for that particular meeting. How stupid it is that anyone even uses them , your vote is not being recorded anywhere . The E.C. laughs their asses off at the G.C. , shit wake up people.

Things are starting to turn full circle, hmmmm now this info shows the relationship between Robert and the BIA, and explains when it really started to change in Pala, his greed is ridiculous. There should be some kind of rule that one person cannot head to many committees, it gives them way too much power. In a comment on Palawatch, someone pointed out that Robert was "Re elected as Chairman of the Fee to Trust Consortium which handles all the Native American Fee to Trust Land deals and it also states that since the year 2000 the BIA has allowed the salaries of some of their employees to be paid by this group calling itself California Fee to Trust Consortium of California." Since 2000,This is when the disenrollments really began in California, and when Howard Dickstein was in full throttle movement for the Casinos all over the state. It was all really done so that they could manipulate tribes and gain control over tribal finances. Who makes the most money from Native American Casinos and what tribes have truly done better by helping their people with more than just a check? Does the state, the lawyers, the BIA, the tribal leaders, or the tribal members benefit the most? Weren't the Casinos allowed in the first place to help the tribal members be more independent? All they have really caused is addiction in gambling, tribal depression, family separation, member hatred of others, major drug problems among the youth, senseless deaths, immoral acts by many leaders, adultery, greed, and the downfall of the Native American. Howard does not care, as he and his wife (president of AARP) sail around the world in complete luxury, laughing at the tribes they have ruined and the leaders they have corrupted. Amy does not care because she has made a lump sum to last three lifetimes and she will retire with federal retirement money, Sara does not care because she makes millions and millions from the tribe defending the EC's personal lawsuits and all she has to claim is sovereignty. We all know how much Robert cares. They can't take it with them when they leave this world, and there is no explaining the cruelty they have dealt.

There is one person who could stand up for the disenrollees of Pala, and he was the first one to speak against them. Kilma. Kilma at one point you almost agreed to help us and talk with us, but then you made an about face and let Robert and his lawyers represent you. What did he threaten you with? We are forgiving people and would definitely forgive and respect a real man who stood for what was right. Your son is going to find out one day that even though you are a military hero who fought for his country, that you did not fight for the truth among your own people. You let your cousins down, you let your fellow members of the community of which you come from, down. You have the knowledge and the power, yet you are so worried about your per-capita and your secret that Robert has that you have been blinded and muted. Our children are going to know what fighters we are for truth, they will be proud. Your son will suffer your Karma for lack of responsibility, because once you know the truth it is your responsibility to announce it and respect it.

Reading all of this, I think the US government should close down the casino completely and open it if/when they believe the tribe/band or whatever can run it. Reading this blog, this is all about money. Say what you want. I think the white man should close all casinos. Claim heritage as much as you want this is all money and nothing more.

There are companies that buy these types of businesses regularly and they are not worth nearly what you think. All this talk only drives down the value be it truth or speculation. There is some out of state money that looks at business at a cheap price.

No your wrong it's not all about money. Money is nice at times to survive in this evil world. Its all about blood line. Either you are cupeno or not. If you don't have the blood then step down. Fine take away the casino and let's go back on commodity's. At least everyone waived to each other and we all got along as a tribe.

The Casino is an investment. The people invested (through a loan) their money in a business which generates revenue. This is not greedy, illegal, or anything but good business sense. Indians have every right to operate a business to earn money.

Robert Smith has used his position to change the laws and to give himself control of the gaming money, the membership roll, and just about every aspect of the Band's operations. Now he has evicted people that he already disenrolled. It is evil and vindictive but that is how Robert Smith does things.

So stop trying to blame the casino, or greed, or say it is all about the money. There is for the future of all the people of Pala. If Robert Smith keeps stealing everything for himself, there won't be anything left for the rest of the people.

Why in Hell is everyone in Pala afraid of Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto. You voted them in, so now vote the out. What is so hard about that?. It's you the General Membership that has the controlling vote to decide issues on the Reservation.So "STOP" giving your power to the EC to make decisions on behalf of "YOU". Vote no on every ordinance change involving the Assignments of Tribal Lands. There is nothing wrong with the assignment ordinance the way it is now.The EC wants to control this so that they can go after the Families of the disenrolled and make them leave the Reservation by force of the EC and blame YOU because you approved the Ordinance giving the EC the power to enact their Removal from their Tribal Homes.SO BE SMART AND VOTE NO ON ANY AMENDMENTS GIVING THE EC MORE POWER TO HURT THESE INDIAN PEOPLE. Every time that there is an issue concerning the Families of the Disenrolled Robert Smith and the EC put this kind of things on the Agenda so they can blame it on the Membership, because it was passed by YOU.So they the EC will say that,thats what the people voted on so it's the will of the people.

TO KILMA LATTIN, WHY ARE YOU KEEPING SILENT ON THE ISSUSES THAT ARE HURTING OUR TRIBE.YOU CAN STOP ALL OF THIS HURT THAT IS BEING IMPOSED BY THE EC ON INNOCENT NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE. DO WE NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FBI AND HAVE THEM MAKE A DEMAND FOR YOU TO SHOW UP IN FEDERAL COURT TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.HOW ABOUT YOU SON, WHAT KIND OF LEGACY ARE YOU CREATING FOR HIM TO FOLLOW, OR DON'T YOU REALLY CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER?. DO THE RIGHT THING AND HELP SAVE OUR TRIBE AND HELP SAVE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING DESTROYED BY ROBERT SMITH AND HIS GROUP.PLEASE ANSWER OUR PLEA FOR HELP BEFORE ITS TO LATE. THANK FOR GETTING INVOLVED AND SAVING THIS RESERVATION.

It is said that Robert Smith and his Brother are the ones that gave Kilma's Father the drugs that were in his system at the time of his death and they should be held accountable for this, even as the years have passed they still should be guilty of a wrongful death law suit.Kilma should look into this and see what he thinks.How about it Kilma,are you ready to be set free from the evil gripps of this corrupt EC, and live a good life for you and you son.Don't be an ass and think that Karma would not affect him in the long run, we believe that you are smarter than that.We really need your help out here and hope that you are the man that you made people believe that you were.Come on Kilma, we are all waiting for you.

After all the proof that has been posted on this site and on the Pala Watch site concerning the Disenrollments of the Britten Family, why are the Members of Pala not doing something to fix this issue?Don't you People care that your Reservation is falling apart?Can't you Members of Pala see all the Documents posted and verified to be the Truth and nothing but the TRUTH.What more proof do you need ?You have the 1989 Final decision made by the U.S. Dept of the Interior, and then you have all the Sworn statements from 1/2 Brothers and Sisters of Margarita Britten, then you have the Elsie Lucero Papers to back up all the facts and the Investigation done by the BIA concerning the blood issue. And still you sit back and let these Native American People get evicted and banished from their own Reservation, and treated like stray dogs.It is hard to believe that you, as true Native American Indian People let this happen when all you have to do is help and stand up to the EC that is using the power that you gave them to do this to your own People. Have you even considered that your family could be next for this type of action. Don't you think it would be better to have all the extra votes on your side if this ever happened to you or to your loved ones. If this continues to go on, soon there will be no one left to vote on any thing. Wake up Pala and settle this issue before anyone else is the subject of such an Action. There are 162 People waiting for your help to bring them home where they belong. If you don't the steps to fix this now, then it will haunt you all if this happens to you or your Family. This the right time to take control of your Reservation that was built for you by your Ancestors with the understanding that this would be where you could raise your Families and not worry about being kicked out because of Greed and corruption and hate toward other members. That's not what our Ancestors died believing. Respect them, even though they have passed on, don't shove them aside for a few dollars, Bring everyone home where they without any doubt belong. Thank you Members of Pala for doing the right thing and for showing the Respect that all of our Ancestors deserve.

Unfortunately, if the person is receiving their internet through Pala's server, then they cannot access this blog. They can do it by phone though, but many members are either not aware, satisfied with their per-capita, believe Robert's lies, scared to lose their memberships, or just don't care.

Legally Robert Smith can not block access if you have a private internet service, and if they try to block it or tap into it, the company's have already stated that they will due what ever it takes to protect their customers, including file Federal Charges against any and all who try to tap into their providers. These charges are a violation of the Federal Communications Law and they will prosecute to the fullest extent of the Law. So they better think twice before they try getting into any ones personal business.

Also there would not be any bad post if the EC would stop all of this bullshit which was not legal to begin with. If they want to know who I am then give me 30 uninterrupted minutes at a Tribal Meeting and allow me to show all the Evidence that we have concerning the EC and their illegal doings. I will wait for your answer EC.Other wise step very careful because I already notified my server and they put a tracer on my service for me to show anyone that try's to intercept any and all of my internet activity.

@ 3:28 amThat's a very smart move and I believe that anyone with a private server should do the same thing and notify your provider and have them put a tracer on your service and block any and all spyware.

My Husband Cheated On Me, But Here's How i Saved Our Marriage ,My name is Sandra Gault and I live in Bryan Texas, My husband and i got married for more than 11 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do,i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Chief Nwaluta for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 1 week my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still love me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he Chief Nwaluta casted on him that make him come back to me today,me and my family are now happy again today. thank you Chief Nwaluta for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact Chief Nwaluta,if you need his help you can contact him through his private E-mail:{ Nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com } or you can contact him through his Web site :http://nwalutaspelltemple.blogspot.com, For any questions call me {Sandra} on Phone Number:(575) 779-6197 Fax Number: (678) 514-5446.

We are here talking about real lives here that are being destroyed by Evil people and we have our own way of dealing with spell casting and it is something that is done as a last result. So go tighten up your vaginal muscles and see if that works for you in keeping your husband.

JUST to let you know that someone has tried to hack my e-mail and my e-mail server at 3:30 AM, just one and a half hours ago. My provider called me @ 3:45 this morning and advised me of the tried hack. They have the IP Address of the Hacker and they are going mail it to me and then I intend to go straight to the FBI with the information that they are providing to me with their report and I am going to file a Federal Complaint ASAP. And I will push as hard as needed to get whoever is responsible for the tried hack.Yhe reason that I was called by my provider is because just yesterday, I requested that they put a tracer on my account to detect any spyware or possible hacking.

Pala better do something about the Sara D. Attorney before this gets totally out of control and it ends up in Civil Court. And the main thing here is that the Band doesn't need this type of Attorney that seems to make up the rules as she sees fit.The Band has enough Troubles as it is and she is just adding to the daily stress for her down grading People that are just standing up for their rights as Native Americans for being wronged by EVIL EC Members. Plus she is for sure involved with her Aunty at the BIA Regional Office, and that in its self is a conflict of interest.Fire Her at the next Tribal Meeting for sure and for the sake of the Band.

We need to remember our elders are watching an we need not to stoop as low as the PALA EC in name calling one another. We were wronged an will beVINDICATED.THE PROFF IS IN THE PAPERWORK.LETS CONTINUE TO PRAY,BELIEVE,AN STAND FOR PEACE.

How can Amy even sit there and claim to the Regional Director of the BIA and do what she does to harm real Native Indian People.Personally I would like to slap the living shit out of her ugly face.I bet that she doesn't have very many friends other than Robert and a few others that pay her big bucks to look the other way concerning Tribal issues that would never get passed with a REAL Director.And also why does her Bosses turn a blind eye to her corruption. They need to sued and held accountable for involvement with the Corrupt leaders ASAP.
